Switchback in Road-map?

#1

I’m a little confused (nothing unusual in that) by the August schedule in
the road-map - http://en.opensuse.org/Roadmap/11.2

Why is there a release of M6 following only two days after M5?

Why does the 17th of August come before the 2nd?

In my original post I mentioned Aug 17th - not 18th. See below. I still
don’t see the point of two releases two days apart.

Fri, Jul 31 openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 4 release

Fri, Jul 31 openSUSE 11.2 Component Freeze

  • Milestone: Feature and version freeze for the base system
  • Milestone: Kernel and install works on most targeted machines.
  • Preliminary Authoring Deadline for localized doc files (ADL loc
    prelim)

Mon, Aug 17 openSUSE 11.2 Crypto Freeze

  • Milestone: Packages containing cryptographic routines are frozen (ECR)

Sun, Aug 02 openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 5 Release

  • Milestone: installation workflow is feature frozen
  • Proofreading of all software starts so that we have a new baseline.
  • Milestone: Feature and version freeze for the complete distribution
    (exception: patchlevel update of leaf packages until Beta1+)
  • Milestone: All features are coding and function complete.
  • Milestone: Kernel and install works on all targeted machines.
  • Milestone: Last round of software translation starts - “hard text
    freeze”
  • Milestone: Documentation deadline (“authoring deadline”) for localized
    manuals, proofing starts, first source drop (locdrop) to Localization for
    volume estimates

The 17th Aug is out of sequence, and is not a numbered milestone. :wink:

Is this a help query or a critique if you don’t like releases two days apart wait for the 2nd of august and update to that one. as for the 17th coming before the 2nd of august mistakes happen, there is a special leap month or something else take your pick

Different Teams; different team schedules or maybe that team is waiting on a special crypto release; etc, etc.
